To allwhomit may-concern? Be it known that" 1, DAVID" A. STEEL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Murf-reesboro,: in' the county of Pike and State of-Arkansas, have invented anew and useful Combination Cookand' Heating Stove; of which: the following is a' specification. r i r The device forming the subject matterof this: applicationis adapted to bei employed as heatingstov'e' and: asa' cookingzj stove The invention aims to provide andev ice or the type above describecb in which: the oven is moi'ably mounted in a novel man ner, so that' it may be swung out of the w ay, whenit is desired to" insert material to -be" baked within the contour of the oven -01 when it is desired to examineth'ematerial beingfbake'dt' and for other =purposes:

rrnother object of the invention is to pro \ide novel means for controlling thedr'aft from the combustion chamber or ash pit 1 with respect o" the oven:

in place by latches 30 on the top 31 and on the top 2, and by abutments 3O on these parts, the abutment on the top 31 only being shown. The supplemental top 31 supports a stack 33 communicating with the flue 32 defined by the extension 29 and the back plate 28.

Hinged as shown at 34 to the supplemental top 31 is a hood 35 embodying a side wall 36 and a top 37, the hood being open at the back and being adapted to cooperate with the extension 29, the latter being open at the front but being closed by the removable back plate 28. The hood 35 may be lifted through the medium of a finger piece 38, and may be held in an upwardly swung position by means of the latch 39 on the stack 33, the same being adapted to coact with a lip 60 on the forward upper edge of the hood 35.

Disposed within the hood 35 is a tubular oven 41 which is removable. Any suitable means may be provided for mounting the oven 41 removably in the hood. If desired, the oven 41 may be equipped on its top with standards 42 adapted to bear against the top 37 of the hood 35. The top of the oven 41 carries a threaded stud 43 passing through the top 3'7 of the hood and equipped with anut 44 adapted to engagethe top of the hood. oven 41 there isan opening 45 which facilitates the insertion of the material to be baked into theoven when the hood 35 is swung upwardly. .lVhen the hood 35 is in a lowered position, as shown in Fig. 2, the opening 45 will be closed by a plate 46 fixed to and upstanding from the top 2.

The numeral 47 designates a tank mounted on the supplemental top 31 near to the stack 33, the tank 47 being provided with a lid 48 which is hinged to the tank as shown at 49 and is retained in a closed position by means of one or more latches 50, the lid 48 and the tank 47 being tongued and grooved together as shown in Fig. 2 to aflord a tight joint when the lid is closed, the tongue and groove construction above alluded to being indicated by the reference character 51 in Fig. 2. Disposed within the tank 47 is a.

rack 52 on which dishes and the like may be placed. The tank is adapted primarily for heating water but if the temperature of the water is raised sutficiently the tank may be used for boiling articles placed on the rack 52. A vertical pipe 53 enters the bottom of the tank 47 and passes downwardly into the fire box 3, the pipe 53 communicating with a loop 54 located in the fire box. The loop 54 may be of any desired contour and of any length, depending upon the amount of heating surface desired. The loop 54 communicates with an upright pipe 55 entering the bottom of the tank 47. Obviously, the water in the tank 47 flows through the conduit formed by pipes 55 In the back of the- I and the hood 35 are swung and 53 and the loop 54 and is heated. The

tank 47 may be equipped with a draw-off cook 56. Extended rearwardly from the pipe 53 is a pipe 57 which may be connected with a water supply system when such a system is available. When no such system is at hand, the tank 47 may be filled otherwise. The tank 47 is supplied with a vent pipe 58 entering the stack 33.

When the damper rod 22 is pulled forwardly into the position shown in Fig. 2, the damper 24 closes the opening 5, the damper 25 uncovers the opening 6, and the damper 26 closes the opening 27 in the back plate 28. Heat is thus cut off from the hood 35 and passes out through the flue 32 and the stack 33. If, however, the damper rod 22 is pushed rearwardly, then the damper closes the opening 6', the damper 26 is moved to open position with respect to the opening 27 in the backplate28; and the damper 24 uncovers the opening 5. Then the products of combustion pass through the opening 5,

around the oven 41 and out through the opening 27 in the back plate 28, into the stack. 1

As hereinbefore stated, the hood 35 with the oven 41 may be swung upwardly into an open position, the opening 45 in the back of the oven permitting the insertion of the articles to be baked. When the hood 41 downwardly into the closed position of Fig. 2, thenthe plate .46 acts as a closure for the opening 45 in the oven 41. I
